Room 4 Newsletter: Term 1, Week 5
Sunday 28th February, 2016
Thank you to Mrs Laidlaw for teaching in
Room 4 on Thursday and Friday while Mrs Eastwood and I were at a conference. I
can’t wait to put the students’ wonderful art up for display.
Important dates coming up:
*Wednesday 2nd March – afternoon: ICT (computer) time in Room 4
with Mrs Flannery.
*Saturday 5th March – Parish Family Mass at our Alexandra
Church – starting with games at 5.30 pm, picnic at 6pm, and Mass at 7pm. Some
Room 4 children will be presenting a small role play at this mass.
*Monday 14th March – School Triathlon 12 noon – 2.30 pm.
*Monday 21st March – Anniversary Day – School closed.
Publishing:
The published stories are still coming in
by email and I am most impressed with the children’s commitment to this task.
Thank you so much for your support with this – some are being done in class if
keyboarding at home is not possible.
Frans Du Plessis
You will have learned from the school
newsletter that Room 4’s new student Frans will be in Christchurch Hospital for
quite some time after his recent diagnosis with leukaemia. On Wednesday last
week we posted the first of our parcels from Room 4 – a class set of homemade
cards. We hope Frans enjoys these, and we continue to keep Frans and his family
and extended family in our prayers. If you have any practical ideas for how our
class can support Frans in an ongoing way, please don’t hesitate to let me
know. We can put Compassion into action every day.
Spelling:
This week we will be working on the short
‘e’ sound. It sounds like the ‘e’ in ‘beg’ or ‘pen’. There is a short activity attached to the hard copy of the class newsletter for the children to do for spelling homework this week.
Have a great week.
Regards, Markelle Ward J
